Stop 3 today is Poplar Hill, a hundred year old farm located in the hills of West Whately, MA on 140 acres.
All their animals are born and raised on the farm, are free range, and are never fed growth hormones.

The unpredictable wet weather means it is harder to grow food to feed their animals.
Farm owner Mike Mahar is looking to expand & we had a great discussion about the types of grants that are available to family farms. We need to make these grants more accessible!

Thank you State Representative Natalie Blais (@RepBlais) & State Senator Jo Comerford (@Jo_Comerford) for joining the tour today!
Our state reps & senators are SO important. These are the people who make the biggest impact in our communities and we are very lucky to have an A+ team in Franklin & Hampshire County speaking for us on Beacon Hill.
And thank you to @WMassNews & @WWLP22News for coming along to learn with us about how #ClimateChange is impacting our communities.
